The first classic Mini was presented to the public on 26 August 1959. Exactly fifty years on and nearly a decade into the life of new MINI, images of stunning new MINI Coupe Concept are today released.
The MINI Coupe Concept is design to be the most dynamic and agile MINI ever built. Strictly a two-seater, powered by a 1.6-litre twin-scroll turbocharged engine, the low roof line, compact dimensions, perfect axle load distribution and lightweight construction are all trademarks of a genuine sports car.

Hyundai has released the 1st undisguised images of its new ix35, an all-new C-segment crossover that showcases Hyundai’s distinctive new ‘fluidic sculpture’ design language.
The ix35 replaces the popular Tucson, one of Europe’s best selling SUVs and will make its world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Design cues seen on ix35 will be carried over to other new Hyundai models, most notably the pronounced hexagonal grille which will become a recognizable family attribute.

Porsche AG is sending the new 911 GT3 RS to the starting line: Delivering even more engine power, offering lower weight, and featuring shorter transmission ratios as well as body and suspensions elements upgraded to an even higher standard.
The new 911 GT3 RS sets the foundation for homologating the racing version of the 911 GT3 and therefore offers everything it takes for ongoing success on the race track, continuing the series of absolutely uncompromising, sporting 911s homologated for the road.
The heart of the new 911 GT3 RS, the power unit, is based on engine already featured in the 911 GT3. Like the latter, the RS power unit now displaces 3.8 instead of 3.6 litres, delivering even more power and revving up even faster and more dynamically.
The new 911 GT3 RS comes exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox optimized for short gearshift travel, low weight and high efficiency. To further improve its sporting behavior, the new 911 GT3 RS comes with a purpose-built and specially set up PASM suspension, a wider front and rear track and corresponding bodywork.
The 2010 911 GT3 RS will be priced at $132,800 and goes on sale in the U.S. in early spring of 2010.
